QT: I Bent The Male Lead - Chapter 95

Winrus stood frozen, the ice prince had heard everything that he said. It made his heart skip a beat, he was scared and worried over how to explain everything that he just said.

His body shivered from the fear of accepting his reality before an audience. The man right in front of him is royalty and as such someone of his status should watch what I say or think.

The fact that his truth was discovered so early. It made him nervous, scared even.

“What are you doing out here?” Winrus in an attempt to play it casually. Attempt to pretend like he had no idea what the prince could have heard.

He was tasting waters to see whether or not he was being paranoid, or Amaru did hear what he had to say while he whispered to himself.

“I came to see you. I… Well…. I wanted to ask you a favor but I’m fine without it,” Amaru said.

The way he spoke how cautious he was, made Winrus believe that the man overheard everything that he said.

And the fact that the prince was going an extra mile to pretend he didn’t, made his blood run cold.

His life was on the line because he couldn’t keep his heart in check.

“I heard what you said by the way. Tell me that you were lying, you didn’t mean anything you just said,” Amaru let out.

Winrus wish to but it was a lie. He hopes that he could change everything by believing it not to be true. That was not how the heart worked.

Unlike his mind, she couldn’t just instruct to stop feeling and expected to. He was human, a human that love Prince he would never have.

Amaru inched closer to the man. Winrus was forced to back away, the moment felt like a confrontation. One in which you will be helpless to defend itself, the ice Prince was royalty on order from him with his to obey.

At that moment, the only thing Winrus wanted was a chance for his feelings to be just his own. To not have to explain himself to someone who wouldn’t understand.

The Ice Prince was used to getting everything that he wanted, from the horses he preferred, to the ladies that he wished to be with.

As for Winrus, his choices were limited.

The two of them stood there staring at each other. No and willing to talk, there was tension between the two of them. A love that goodnight expressed, and the subject of the love that did not understand.

Amaru had gone looking for Winrus to have his help in making a date with lady Freya. Something special that the two of them can do separate from that others.

But he happen to have heard something that you never even considered possible. Yet, he found that he wasn’t angry. The fact that Winrus had feelings for him neither annoyed nor irritated him.

He looked into Winrus’s with a threatening gaze. Not to scare the man but to check whether they were honest in his eyes or not. He could not tell why it mattered to him to find out if Winrus was honest and what he said.

Since the man had said it without expecting anyone to hear it. It pointed out that, it was a truth, a secret that Winrus wanted to keep.

As such, he felt the need to end the matter there. His heart was attracted to Freya. He could not bring himself to even consider what the possibility could hold for the two of them if the matter with Winrus wasn’t sorted.

“You are my friend. I need you to be honest with me,” he pleaded in a soft voice. “Is its true that you have feelings for me?” he questioned.

Winrus swallowed hard. He did not anticipate for Amaru to direct the question at him. He parted his lips to answer, no words came out.

He didn’t want to explain himself but since he was put on the spot, he found his other option is to answer the question. It was either that I have the male call out the crown prince to help with the interrogation.

Something that he would very much like to avoid. “No, I do not have feelings for you,” he let out blinking his eyes nervously.

The Ice Prince stared at him, he had known Winrus his entire life. He knew him well enough to know that He blinks whenever he’s lying.

The lie confirmed it. The truth that Winrus was keeping from him. Amaru felt the need to back off. He didn’t know what to do with the information that he had received.

He decided to leave the matter at that for the moment. ” I don’t know how to react to the knowledge that you have feelings for me. I will think on it and get back to you,” he spoke out.

Amaru was a believer, who believes that all feelings should be given a chance. He did like Freya but he couldn’t dismiss the feelings that Winrus had.

“What does that mean?” the male asked lowering his head. He didn’t dare meet the prince’s eyes.

“It means that until I figure out how I feel about this information. I wish that you would keep it to yourself,” Amaru requested.

The camping trip was supposed to be a calming experience where he gets to bond with the woman that he likes. Where he gets to help his friend, the Crown prince with his complicated love story.

Instead what he got was a harsh taste of reality. Where he goes to learn that one of his friends. Close companion and someone he holds in high regard in his life, seen him in a different light and that of a friend.

Since it was his friend that was concerned. He had to go deep inside himself and see if there was any part of him that could ever return the feelings of love.

To give Winrus the answer that he needed. To keep him from constantly wondering, what if. It was a quest that would help him. If it was possible for him to love Winrus then it was only fair to give him a chance.

And if it wasn’t possible then he could at least give the man a reply and help him move on. Because Amaru believed that it was unfair to have another love him for the rest of their life when he wasn’t capable of returning the feelings.

According to him, everyone deserves a chance to be happy. And the first love is not always made for everyone. But simply because it doesn’t work out does not mean that you cannot find someone else who will love you the way you deserve to be loved.

That is what he wanted for Winrus. If he wasn’t the man for Winrus then he will clarify that as soon as he can. So that the male would keep his options open and be free to any love that may come his way. Instead of holding onto something that can never be.

” I can do that,” Winrus let out softly.

Amaru made the first move and walked away. He was deep in thought as he wandered through the trees trying to find a way back to the camp.

He noted to himself to stay clear of both Freya and Winrus until he had his feelings sorted. To avoid hurting either of them.

“Are you okay?” Elayne greeted him as he was on his way back to the campsite.

Amaru sighed. He didn’t have time to deal with her at the moment. He had a lot to think about and so much to do, talking to her would only add to his problems.

But the girl was not so easy to get rid of. Elayne had gone looking for him for one reason alone. To bond with him and get his mind from thinking about Freya.

Amaru massaged his forehead. Elayne stood before him refusing to leave or move out of the way.

“I am fine. Please let me pass?” Amaru requested nicely.

Elayne flashed him a bright smile. She particularly liked it when Amaru spoke to her in a soft tone of voice. It made her feel how much she was considerate towards her.

But she could not forget that for Freya, the man before her had gone against her. She objected to Freya joining them at a camping site, but Amaru invited her still.

That made her very angry. And on that note, she decided not to heed his request. She stayed put and didn’t move, “Why would I do that, I want to talk to you,” she expressed to him.

She glanced at him with a gentle look of longing and desire. She had been in love with Amaru since she was a child. As such, she felt that only she deserved to be loved by him.

” I have a confession to make.. I have to tell you how I feel, please spare me a moment,” she begged sweetly.
